BR — Wide Flange (I-beam)
Wide flange beams (W shapes / I-beams) are the most common structural steel profile used in building construction. They are used for beams, columns, and girders in steel-framed buildings and bridges. Designed per AISC 360, Eurocode 3, and NBR 8800.
The VS 600x125 steel profile weighs 124.8 kg/m (83.87 lb/ft), has a depth of 600 mm (23.62 in), flange width 300 mm (11.81 in). Cross-sectional area: 15,896 mm². Moment of inertia Ix = 108,072.8 cm⁴, Iy = 8,552.4 cm⁴.
